As a promotional tie-in with THE THING prequel, Dark Horse Comics has created an exclusive digital comic to serve as a preamble to the sci-fi horror flick that releases October 14th. The digital comic will be presented in three parts, with the first one kicking off today. The next two fall a week in succession, with part two on September 28th and part three on October 5th. Not only that, the comic will be available FREE online at www.digital.darkhorse.com and via the free Dark Horse Comics mobile app (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id415378623).

Here’s what you can expect to see in the digital prequel:

The Thing: The Northman Nightmare tells the origin story of pioneering Norsemen who discover a shape-shifting creature that is hiding in a desolate village with few human survivors…

So what’s up, this your kind of thing to begin with…a digital comic tie-in? You gonna check it out merely out of curiosity? I remember something vaguely similar with JONAH HEX, but I don’t recall that helping the cause too much.
